Description

The first route that I developed here, CCD was certainly a plum ripe for picking.

P1 - Start in the incredibly obvious dihedral on the right side of the wall. Where it appears the dihedral steepens into a roof, you will traverse right on a pair of horizontal cracks, gaining a ledge and then traversing back left to a tree belay. 5.8 150'

P2 - Climb up and slightly left from the belay, entering a 5" wide, bottomed-out water runnel. This is what appeared to be a splitter from below. Run out between so-so placements for 200'. 5.9+ PG-13

Scramble 50' to base of final cliff.

P3 - Chill 5.5 all the way to another big ledge. 200'

Descent - Walk off and to the left (east) down a gully. If you hit it just right, there is no need for a rappel. If you must rappel, it should only be one until you find yourself in the main gully.

Location

Far right side of Hidden Gold Wall. Starts in major dihedral.

Protection

Doubles up to BD #4.
